Kevin Weekes

Kevin Weekes (born 4 April 1975) is a professional ice hockey goaltender, born in Toronto, Ontario.

Kevin's career started with the Owen Sound Platers of the Ontario Hockey League. He also had a brief stint with the Ottawa 67's.

Chosen 41st overall by the Florida Panthers in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft, he joined the team for the 1997-98 season, going 0-5-1 in 11 appearances for the Panthers. The following summer he was traded to the Vancouver Canucks in a trade for Pavel Bure and compiled a 6-15-5 record in 31 appearances over a season and a half before being traded to the New York Islanders halfway through the 1999-2000 season. At the conclusion of that season he was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he played until late in the 2001-02 season when he was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes.

He played in a tandem with Arturs Irbe, helping lead the Hurricanes to the 2002 Stanley Cup Finals while recording two shutouts in the playoffs, establishing a Hurricanes team record.

He signed with the New York Rangers as a free agent prior to the 2004-05 NHL lockout, winning his first start with the Rangers on 5 October 2005 in a game against the Philadelphia Flyers.

His parents emigrated from Barbados.
